Composed by Manfred Trojahn. Stapled. Score. Composed 2009. 43 pages. Duration 21 minutes. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA09378. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA09378).
ISBN 9790006539086. 12.8 x 10.04 inches.
A modern sequel to the music of the Romantic era.
The first movement hints at the chromatic of “Tristan”; cantilena lines convey a mournful scene. It is succeeded by a brilliant scherzo with the cryptic title “Erste fremde Szene” (First Foreign/Unknown Scene – one is invited to solve this riddle), while the third movement, with its singing quality, is related to the first. The final movement, a “Zweite fremde Szene” (“Second Foreign/Unknown Scene”), alludes to the “last dance” tradition, with its ironic undertones and the copious use of sixths, counterpointed with tarantella rhythms.
A rewarding, striking work, equally valuable for concerts combining older compositions with new works as for contemporary music programmes.
